i got this DVD for christmas at an early christmas party and i absolutely love it. it has eight sections to it, but unlike most other DVDs, this movie dont have any special features, oh well. the music isnt what i like but it sorta goes with the riding. on to the review.

1.Intro: the intro to the movie wasnt what i thought it would be. it had a lot of different riders and the riders that have parts in the movie that just have a clip or two of them doing some stuff. nothing really spectacular happens in the intro but overall it has some real good riding. 8.5/10
2.Animal Roadtrip: this section really isnt a rode trip, its more like 5 minutes of just clips of the Animal crew hitting up quite a few different spots. this is filled with mostly street and some park clips. 9/10
3.Jonah Lidberg: i have never heard of this guy before i got this movie, but i have to admit, he is f*cking awesome. he films and rides by himself so there is no moving shots in his part, but do you really need moving shots to have a good part? he does some flatland with his riding(EX. like double peg to hang 5). i give him a 9.5/10
4.Gary Young: his part is basically tipical Gary Young. high speed, balls out riding with lots of lines. his section has him riding street, park, dirt, and the Dirt Bowl if you know what that is. ill give him a 9/10
5.Cory Martinez: his section shows him riding park and street like usual, but he does some stuff ive never seen from anybody, like a 270-to-foot-jam tailwip over a spine. he gets a 9/10
6.Ryan Nyquist: his section has clips of him riding in street, park, and dirt with no clips of him in comps. he does a lot of unique stuff that i have never seen from anybody and ive never thought i would see it from him. Ryan also does handrails if you didnt know. there is a clip of him double pegging a quadruple kinked rail. his part also has him doing 720 barspins too. 9.5/10 for Ryan.
7.Morgan Wade: his section had a lot of good riding. it has him doing loops, bikeflips, and such as usual but but over some big gaps except for the bikeflip. he gets a 9/10
8.Credits: the credits basically just have clips of them goofing around on there bikes and quite a few crashes and thats about it. 9/10

i didnt want to give away that much stuff that happens in the movie, but if you watch it, be sure to have the remote by you because i found myself rewinding it a lot the first time i watch it.
running time: 30 minutes

so it does. I really dont like shot vids. Paying £20ish for 25-30mins of footage sucks. Isnt there a load of bonus footage?

no theres isnt a load of bonus footage, there isnt any bonus footage at all. just the actually movie. but i think it would be worth paying 20 bucks for it. dont know how much that is in the UK tho

$20 is only about £11 but it costs £18 over here. No bonus footage? that sucks! Im sure its good but Id much rather buy a longer DVD with bonus stuff.

its the rideUS vid right? just shows that the UK do it better :D. RideUK's cassette video was 58minutes long! and it kicks ass. not sure how much bonus footage there was because I have the VHS. RideUK's 'no front teeth' was 56mins with 20min bonus footage. You get your moneys worth.

thats the best way to see vids. If you and say 3 of your mates all buy one dvd each, then pass them around, you get 4 for the price of 1!
